It’s Not Just a Job; It’s a Musical! Make plans to see Grady’s production of “Working” by Studs Terkel. The play is based on Terkel’s book of the same name — the result of interviews with more than 130 people by the Chicago author and radio personality. The show is presented through a series of 28 vignettes, with songs and monologues. From the NY Times Theater Review: “Working” has been called the nonshowbiz counterpart to “A Chorus Line.” Its journalistic roots are what make the show an intriguing piece of late-20th-century musical history.

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States — it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just… Almost.

One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.
